magic coach

The Alaves players only saw the dawn of victory, only saw that the opponent was missing one player, and only saw that they were pressing to the frontcourt, while the giants Inter Milan could only retreat to halftime, but they did not realize the danger they were facing.

At No. 30 minutes into the game, Inter Milan, which was compressed to the front of the penalty area, burst out suddenly, like a spring compressed to the limit. The tighter it is, the greater the force it will pop out.

Pirlo received Materazzi's clearance header. Surrounded by the crowd, he was not eager to clear the siege with his big feet. Instead, he boldly picked Alonso and handed the header to Seedorf not far away.

Pirlo's adventurous behavior won Seedorf the time to pass the ball. The later veteran of the football world is now also a veteran and cunning person. His vision is very wide, and he found a pass in the crowd instantly. Vieri's passage.

He stopped the ball in front of him and slammed the outside of his instep. The ball bypassed the defensive player running in front of him, also bypassed the defender on Vieri's left, and flew to the route of Vieri's running.

Vieri is the only person in the Alaves half. He is now given the order not to defend by Jiang Mu, because Inter Milan now has one less person and cannot effectively send the ball to the frontcourt when the opponent is chasing and intercepting. So one player must be left in front to fight back.

Jiang Mu is very flexible when dealing with various situations, and dares to deny his previous decisions at any time, as long as it is beneficial to the team to win.

Vieri does not need to defend, all his thoughts are on offense, and he will naturally observe the movements of opponents and teammates anytime, anywhere. When Pirlo receives the ball, Vieri has already started running. He thought that Pirlo would be big. The foot drove to the back of the defender, but he did not expect that Pirlo did not kick off directly, but handed it to Seedorf who was close to the wing.

However, Seedorf's pass was even more threatening. The ball actually bypassed the defensive player Carmona on the left and flew diagonally.

The ball flying directly forward from the backcourt is easy to be directly caught by the opponent's goalkeeper, but Seedorf's pass makes the goalkeeper dare not attack, because the ball does not fly to the goal, but to another wing. .

Without the interference of the goalkeeper attacking the ball and clearing the siege, Vieri took the absolute initiative. He jumped in at high speed, jumped up and intercepted the diagonally flying ball with his feet.

After the ball is blocked while flying, it immediately changes from running parallel to the goal to running perpendicular to the goal.

Although Vieri jumped up and stopped the ball, his body still rushed forward, but his speed slowed down. Alaves' central defender Telles had already rushed over.

Telles tried to head in front of Vieri to his goalkeeper. In this crisis, this is also the correct approach, which is safer than frontal defense.

But Telles forgot Vieri's powerful body. At the moment when the bodies of the two were parallel, Vieri bumped Telles hard with his shoulder. Telles's tonnage could not be compared with Vieri's. It could have surpassed Vieri, but after being hit by Vieri, although the person also moved forward according to his habit, he surpassed Vieri, but he was farther away from the ball.

After Vieri knocked Tellez away, he took great strides to catch up with the ball. Seeing that the goalkeeper Herrera was still retreating, he raised his foot and shot the goal without hesitation.

"...beautiful! It's a clever shot, if you continue with the ball, Tellez and Carmona will catch up, and Inter Milan has no one to help Vieri, Vieri made the right move Choice... oal... Goal in! Vieri! Inter equalize... 2:2... Inter lead by one goal on aggregate! Alaves must score two goals to advance, no! Maybe three Only one goal, because Inter also score goals..."

Scarpini took the lead in shouting wildly, and then his voice was drowned out by the applause of more than 8 Nerazzurri.

The entire Meazza has become a sea of ​​joy. Vieri's goal came too critical. When the team was in danger, this goal greatly improved the morale of the players and fans.

Jiang Mu walked to the North Stand and stood with Kalavryta, the leader of the Holy Boys. Surrounded by the hardcore fans, he held a team flag of Inter Milan in his hand. Like ordinary fans, he raised his arms and cheered. Sing the team song.

Jiang Mu's arrival in the fans' stands greatly aroused the enthusiasm of the fans. The applause lasted for a long time, and the waves of people did it again and again. When the game had restarted, the climax was still continuing.

Holding the advantage of two hemispheres, the mood of the Inter Milan players is completely peaceful. They are no longer nervous about losing one player. They stick to the half court and let the opponent attack. Maybe the opponent will break through their goal, but they also have the opportunity to break through. For Alaves' goal, Vieri's sudden appearance in the front has proved his attack power. If two people are not sent to mark him, the superstar may break through the gate guarded by Herrera again at any time.

The head coach of Alaves, Mane, had a grim expression. Just as he saw a little hope, Vieri broke this hope. This made Mane very angry, but he had no choice. will give the opponent this chance.But the key now is not whether the opponent scores or not, but that Alaves must score.

"Substitution!"

Mane made a bold decision at this time. The opponent played one less player. There was only one striker Vieri in front, and four defenders behind him was a waste of resources. There is a big difference between a midfielder whose main job is to attack and a striker.

Mane called the forward Ascoitia on the bench and asked him to replace the full-back Geely. The backcourt should play three defenders, and the formation became 532.

Mane's change of formation was not a whim. In La Liga, Mane often switched formations between 442 and 352.In the first half, Alaves played 442, allowing Cruyff Jr. and Moreno to play forward. The combination of Moreno and Cruyff Jr. was gradually recognized by others, and Alaves was invincible.At this time, Mane decisively used the combination of Alonso and Moreno, while Cruyff Jr. returned to the position of the midfielder.Mane also gave up the four-back tactic and adopted three backs to shrink the center defense.

Relying on the impact of the midfielder on the wing to increase the attack point, thereby opening up the gap for the attack in the center, so that Cruyff Jr. can better grasp the rhythm of the game.Tactical adjustments made Alaves recover quickly, and their league results improved by leaps and bounds, reaching the top 16 of the UEFA Cup.

Mane's adjustment made Alaves' interception and offense in the midfield more solid. Inter Milan is best at counterattacks in the center. Seedorf and Pirlo are not wide players, and the opponents increase their manpower in the center. It hit the vital point of Inter Milan, making it difficult for Inter Milan's counterattack to threaten again.

Alaves was firmly in control of the game within four to five minutes after the substitution. Because they had no worries, their offensive quality was greatly improved, and they got consecutive good opportunities in front of the goal.

In the 35th minute of the game, Moreno's header slid out.

In the 37th minute, substitute striker Askoitia received a pass from Yugoslav midfielder Tomic. The cold she from outside the penalty area almost broke Frey's ten fingers. Fortunately, the tall and long-legged Materazzi blocked the goal Line tackle clearance.

Thirty seconds later, Cruyff Jr.'s corner kick went directly to the back corner of the goal. Frey had already surrendered the gun, but the ball bounced off the crossbar.

After Jiang Mu was sent to the stands, his on-the-spot reaction speed dropped a lot. After Jiang Mu observed the situation and made a decision, he then sent the note to Baresi. When Baresi let the players warm up, there was a delay of at least 5 minutes. Minutes more.

Fortunately, Inter Milan's players were united, and with a bit of luck, Alaves did not break the goal.

Five minutes later, Inter Milan also made substitution adjustments in response to Alaves' changes. The midfielder Seedorf was replaced and striker Robbie Keane played.

Jiang Mu's substitution surprised everyone, because although Inter Milan is playing at home now, they have one less player. It can be fully compensated, which means that each player has to defend more space, but there is one less outlet in the attack.

At this time, Jiang Mu replaced the striker with another midfielder. This was an extremely bold decision.

The commentator Scarpini said: "If you don't know that Jiang Mu is using small notes to direct the game, I think most people will think that this is a muddled decision made by Baresi. The situation, making such a choice cannot be described as bold, it should be an expression of absolute confidence, Jiang Mu obviously thinks at this time that they are completely capable of scoring goals against their opponents...Okay, let's not analyze it, if We can analyze the progress of the game and Jiang Mu's psychology. Jiang Mu can't be called a magical coach. No matter how you say it, going forward will always make the game better. We still appreciate the game. Maybe this is another It was a big game.”

After Robbie Keane came on the field, he explained to Vieri, and then the two returned to the defense in turn, but at least one player was kept in front, which formed a deterrent to Alaves' defense and prevented the defenders from stepping forward to assist. Teammates, the current defensive pressure is already very heavy. If the opponent's defender suddenly gets in, there may be a leak, and the defense line will be in chaos.

After the two sides changed players, there were only a little more than 5 minutes left in the game. In order to score goals, the rhythm became more lively. , making all the fans out of breath nervously, staring at the ball without blinking.

The stoppage time in the first half is 1 minute. Generally, when it comes to stoppage time in the first half, both sides will converge, because there is still enough time in the second half, but these two teams are racing against time, not relaxing at all. When a corner kick was taken, even the goalkeeper Herrera rushed into the Inter Milan penalty area, ready to compete for the last chance to attack.
